nutria control

why are there nutrias in the pond?

Nutria are large rodents that are similar in appearance to beavers with long, thin tails. The most a nutria will weigh is 20 pounds where a beaver can weigh up to 100 pounds. Nutria are nocturnal animals but when their food source is scarce they will hunt during the day. Like beavers, you will never see a nutria in your attic. Nutria live in freshwater rivers, marshes, bayous and ponds.

Nutria are not native to the Nashville area and breed all year long. The juvenile nutria reach sexual maturity at just 4 months and each litter can have up to 13 baby nutria. Complete Animal Removal’s expert nutria trapper will trap the nutria before the population gets out of hand.
